Abstract
Collective communication performance is critical in a number of MPI applications, yet relatively few results are available to assess the performance of mainstream MPI implementations. In this paper we focus on two widely used primitives, broadcast and reduce, and present experimental results for the Cray T3E and the IBM SP2. We compare the performance of the existing MPI primitives with our implementation based on a new algorithm. Our tests show that existing all-software implementations can be improved and highlight the advantages of the Cray hardware-assisted implementation.
